"This spot was suggested to us by a local business and I regret to say that I was so badly disappointed. The staff did not seem genuinely friendly and the food was average, if not, less. I was unhappy with the lack of options on the menu and the fact that I was charged $6 for just 3 French toast alone. The waitress had to leave our table 3 separate times in the midst of taking our order because the cook/owner kept distracting her. I ordered a hot tea which the waitress forgot to bring 3 times. I finally received the tea without a cup or anything to put in it. I also didn't get any syrup for the French toast I ordered but made sure everyone had ketchup for their hashbrowns. After our food was delivered our waitress never came to our table to see if we needed any other assistance and I had to wait an extra 10 minutes to even try to locate an employee, that wasn't being over worked, to get me some cream and syrup. We finished our food and hadn't noticed the waitress had laid our order on the table in the most illegible writing so now I am really hoping there weren't any extra charges from the previous negative reviews I'd seen about hidden fees. I go to the counter to pay only to find they're CASH ONLY. Was there a sign upon entry? No. Was it explained to us when we ordered? No. I assumed there had to be some notification somewhere. So I ask the hostess and she just pointed to the small print on the bottom corner on the front of the menu. Luckily they have an atm at the entrance that charges you $3 to pull money out to pay your bill To sum this all up, I will not be coming back and I will not suggest anyone come here due to the horrible service we received and complete facade of customer service this place provides. Honorable mentions: the women's bathroom is the equivalent of a shoebox. When hot water spilled on the table, it turned brown from the lack of proper cleaning to the tables. It's definitely got the 50s feel by the lack of diversity by the employees and customers."

"Part 4 Day 26 : Sakura For the first time having this roll, I was impressed because I usually don 't really care for the honey wasabi sauce, but it went really well with the eel sauce! Personally, I love raw rolls, so I was super excited to try this one! On top, there is salmon, tuna, and red snapper! I wouldn 't change anything about this roll because it 's already delicious! Day 27 : Surf Turf I really liked this roll! The black panther roll was good but I like this one because there 's more to it since there 's mushrooms and the sauce on it! The black panther was just a little more dry in my opinion. I didn 't think I would care for this roll because of all the sauce but I ended up really liking it. The volcano sauce has the perfect amount of spice too! I think I would order this again in the future! Day 28: Tiger This roll was my go to when I first started trying different types of rolls! It has the perfect amount of spice and spicy tuna to make the perfect raw roll! The crunch on top gives it a little texture too. This is a great roll to try if you 're trying to expand or try new raw rolls! I would definitely order this again in the future since it 's a favorite of mine! Day 29 : Zombie I’ve actually been wanting to try this roll and it was soo good that I think it 's now one of my favorites! I loved the BBQ eel with the shrimp and avocado combination a lot! I wasn 't sure if I would like the honey wasabi on top but after trying it, it goes really well with the other ingredients in the roll. I will definitely be ordering this one again in the future!"

"My husband requested that I take him, our children and my in-laws here for Father’s Day. So we made a reservation. On the way he raved to his parents about how good the food is and how much they’ll love the cod. We were seated relatively fast though 15 minutes past our reservation time. We all ordered the fried cod platter. Then the children had kids meals. Then we proceeded to wait over a full hour for our food. When it was eventually brought out two cod platters were cold. One “4 piece cod platter” had 3 pieces. One kid’s meal was cold. We let the server know. She said she’d have it remade and took the cold meals away. Then quickly brought out the cod platters again in less than 5 min. I’m guessing they just refried the fish because it was hard, and saturated in grease. The entire bottom of my plate was covered in a thick layer of grease. We didn’t have time to ask for better because half the table was halfway done with their meal already. We had to ask 2 more times for the missing piece of fish. My husband had to ask 3 times for tartar sauce because instead of bringing enough for the table of people eating fish they’d bring one little half filled cup on a plate every time. I understand it was busy and we were patient in waiting the amount of time we did. The food and service were not acceptable and it was a disappointing Father’s Day dinner out. So we left with our in laws thanking us for a meal they didn’t enjoy and us feeling let down by a place we had previously had a good experiences. I felt like we were begging for proper food and service. Not even including the tip I spent $121 on this mess. So unfortunately they’ve lost customers now. I’d have to say I will not recommend."
